Orlando, FL – December 17, 2024 – The Pulse Memorial Advisory Committee convened last week to review and refine a conceptual design for the future Pulse Memorial. As the committee looks to finalize a design concept, the community is encouraged to provide feedback. This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure that the Pulse memorial reflects the collective vision of the victims’ families, survivors and the
broader Orlando community.
The latest Pulse memorial design is available at engage.orlando.gov, and feedback is being solicited through January 22, 2025. Input from the committee at the December meeting, along with feedback from victims’ families, survivors and community responses, will be incorporated into an updated conceptual design. This revised design will be presented by Baker Barrios Architects and Catalyst Design Group to the
committee on February 4, 2025, with the goal of finalizing a design concept.
Latest Pulse Conceptual Design Includes:
- A Memorial and Reflection Space: Formed by the footprint of the original Pulse building.
- A Reflection Pool: Positioned where the dance floor was, symbolizing peace and remembrance.
- 49 Columns: Each column honors one of the 49 victims.
- Private Gathering Space: Providing a quiet space for personal reflection.
- A Healing and Prism Garden: A garden designed to represent hope and healing.
- Educational Pavilion: Intended as a respectful space to reflect on the historical significance of the site, and pay tribute to loved ones who are commemorated.
